We visited Ammatoli because we read about it during DineOutLongBeach. Not a very big place but loved the ambience. They were pretty busy and so the waitstaff was a bit slow but we weren't in a hurry and they were super friendly. Food was great; we'll definitely return.

we went on Valentine's day with a reservation to be confronted with a $55 fix priced menu. we were told take it or leave it, but later on, someone complained and got a regular menu to order from. it was a rip-off! the food was mediocre at best with no meat, only a choice of fish or a vegan plate.

Came for my fathers birthday with my parents, wife and one half year old daughter. Staff was very nice and attentive. We got the chicken family meal. My parents loved the quality of the food . They talked about coming back soon.

This restaurant DOES NOT RECOGNIZE OPENTABLES REWARD DOLLARS!!! They were somewhat rude about it. We didn’t even get a percentage off. They told us no. They said that they have the basic plan with open table and they didn’t authorize it. Leaving us to pay the whole amount. The food is great. The service was great. However, when it came to paying, that was an issue. The server called the manager and the manager was the rude one. They either need trained on how to accept them or need to be taken off of opentable rewards.

Hello there, we terribly apologize for this! OpenTable never mentioned or explained this program to us. Unfortunately, we were not able to process these reward dollars because we didnt know how to. We contacted OpenTable and the issue is now resolved. Again, we apologize for this inconvenience.

I would definitely recommend Ammatoli to anyone seeking great mediterranean / middle eastern food, however this is not a traditional restaurant experience. The space is nice and well decorated with waiter/waitress service but there is an order counter that takes up considerable space and has a large presence not reflected in the pictures we viewed online prior to dinning.

It can get really noisy in the restaurant, but the food is really delicious so we just put up with the noise. The place is small too and always pack. I guess when you have good food, people still come.

Very good Mediterranean food, reasonably priced, great location, great service! Restaurant is LOUD when full (Saturday night) and we could talk to our friends next to us by not the ones next to them. We will return!

Hi there, we terribly apologize for this inconvenience! We were aware of your reservation, we had a number of group reservations that night, which was okay, but some of our diners stayed in longer than usual while enjoying their time. We did, however, have your party as the next available reservation once tables where available.
We apologize again for this. We hope that you had enjoyed your time here... We strive to make your experience as special as possible.

The only complaint I have is my reservation didn’t show up at the restaurant. My mother told me they were kind of short towards her when she entered stating we had a reservation and they couldn’t find it....despite the fact that there were no other patrons in the restaurant. It was for her birthday so unfortunately this put a damper on our experience. They also forgot to bring us hummus.

My husband and I really enjoyed our dinner at Ammatoli. We shared the Mediterranean fries, chicken shwarma and two sides (babaganous and spicy hummus). Everything was very flavorful and well-prepared. The atmosphere was also very pleasant and the service warm and friendly. We will definitely return and recommend it to others.

So glad we gave this place a try- so delicious! The babaganush was smooth & smokey, some of the best I've tasted. Mixed grill player with chicken and kafta as well as falafel sandwich were particular standouts but we truly enjoyed everything we ate. You can taste the love! We appreciated the chef coming out at the end of dinner as well!Only less than positive thing I could possibly say is the noise level is high. Snuggle close to your dinner mate for a yummy and romantic dinner.We had no problem finding parking around the corner on the street at a meter. Recommended!

This experience was long-awaited, and I'd heard so many good things. I'd made a reservation for my friend's birthday on Wednesday August 21st, made a note on there for that. I got held up at work, so I had to call at push it back, which they happily accommodated. Once we walked through the door, my friend and I were both washed over with confusion. The build-out is fast-casual, not full-service. There wasn't a host to check in with, and the cashpoint was deserted. Two servers were flying around manically. We waited at the cashpoint, perused the menu, as the smell of the good was gorgeous so we were ready to ignore the strange layout, not being greeted and the general confusion. We waited for, I would say about 5 minutes until finally, the female server barked at us to sit anywhere we wanted. I replied that we had a reservation, at which she scoffed at and just repeated to sit anywhere we wanted. All of the empty tables were filthy and covered with used napkins, dirty glassware, and plates. So we spotted one of the larger dining tables in the center of the small dining area, as the (I believe) ten top was seated by a couple, so my friend and I pulled up by the other side as that seemed like it was our only option. Meanwhile, I apologized profusely to my friend. He had traveled quite a long way specifically to meet me for dinner to celebrate his birthday, and I felt so guilty for the weird experience up until that point. So embarrassed. The couple on the other side of the table was very audibly upset, I couldn't help but overhear that they were waiting for a long while with just waters and were getting anxious to order. My friend and I locked eyes and discussed carrying on to another venue as we were very hungry. We decided to give it another few minutes but gave up after a short while we ended up at Michaels instead. Management needs to set their servers up for success and figure out what their process is. And the female server should be retrained or replaced.

Service was slow and waiter was not attentive. Took the order and completely lost the ticket. We waited for 20 mins and nothing came. Waiter had to retake the order which was frustrating. Later they comped the two glasses of wine. Food finally arrived and it was lukewarm and dry. Food quality was poor. Not coming back.
